And that could--though it's theoretical at this point--lead to powerful new treatments for infertility and perhaps even for staving off menopause.

...result will have to be confirmed by others before it's fully accepted, although many scientists are already pretty well convinced. But even if it's true for mice, says Gosden, "you have to beware of extrapolation to humans."

Their marriage, the second for both, unites two overachievers whose days are so crowded that it takes his-and-her secretaries to get them together for lunch. Linda, 38, the daughter of Freeman Gosden, who played Amos on the Amos and Andy show, was a deputy press secretary in Ronald Reagan's first presidential campaign. A quick study, she had risen to senior vice president for corporate affairs at Warner Amex Cable, a joint venture of Warner Communications and American Express, by the time she married Robinson in 1984.
